Because KF alsways states to avoid territorial violence (basically a d*ck measuring contest). ANd it is usually avoidable.
But Predatorial is not avoidable. If you apologise to a lion it won't care and will STILL eat you.
People who do Kung FU don't want to be good fighters, they want to be good defenders.
That is what it is designed for and so that is how it should be tested.
Honestly, I don't think you are correct in this, at all.
But to each their own.

Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
